    Boat Load and HP Rating

    Boatus.org has some guidance on the posted capacities. According to BoatUS it is not a federal offense to exceed these ratings. It may be a violation of your local regulations to exceed the posted capacities of a boat. So, check with your local (state) regulations on boat capacities...

    I/O taking on water while sitting not moving

    It may be hard to pinpoint the exact location of the leak beyond what can be seen in the video. A borescope can help, but you may have to start taking things apart. Pulling the outdrive would be a whole lot easier than pulling the engine. So, start there. With the outdrive off, you can get a...

    I/O taking on water while sitting not moving

    I'll make a few comments to hopefully help. Odds are that there is a leak at the transom seal. These are often caused by the transom rotting. Not sure about 4Winns being wood-free, but maybe. Often the stringers are synthetic, but the transom is wood core. Boat companies usually do not...

    My boat is being a boat . . .

    Hey Drew, nice to hear from you. Yes, I sold the Formula 330 in Sept. 2021 to a guy who took it down south to the gulf of Mexico area. In October of that year, I bought 'the beast' (2016 Cruisers Yacht 338 Bowrider). It is one of those 'crossover' style of boats where you have both forward...

    5.7 MPI Misfires Under Load

    @ksvista A few quick comments on the engine data . . . Engine temperature is quite low (120˚F should be in the 160 range) Timing advance is going up when you throttle up as it should, but then stays up at 24˚ after you throttle down. It would be interesting to see what the codes are. (not...

    5.7 MPI Misfires Under Load

    @ksvista - It is best to have a single thread with your engine issue, rather than creating a new threads as you work to resolve the issue. I have taken a quick look at your engine data. There are trouble codes, but they are not visible in the recording file. Please take a look at the codes...

    My boat is being a boat . . .

    I am starting to get the upper hand, but it has been a month (or so) of constant battles. I had quite a punch list from the first year of ownership, basically things to get the boat more 'dialed in'. Here are the things . . . . Fume detector (the boat did not have one ) . Secondary Bilge...

    Upholstery Work?

    I do upholstery. You are looking at about $600 per cushion/piece. So, a typical boat might be $8,000. I just saw a Formula 330 re-upholstery that was awesome, 16 pieces, $15K. 😳

    My boat is being a boat . . .

    The engines do OK for 6.2’s. The boat is pretty heavy, but not sure I’d want to burn more fuel with extra ponies 😀

    My boat is being a boat . . .

    Yup, never liked playing with electrons. I think I’m coming close to completing the modifications I was planning. Hopefully this year I’ll have a better boating experience knowing where both the trim tabs and outdrives are from a trim perspective. :) The boat needs help coming up on plane.

    My boat is being a boat . . .

    Yup, and the amount of wiring and connections on this boat is insane. I had to lay across the engines just to reach down to get at the trim sender connectors and they were fastened to the transom wall with tywraps every few inches. Now I got to re-secure it all . . . :rolleyes: Probably all...

    My boat is being a boat . . .

    Quick update on the Digital Trim Senders . . . I installed (replaced) the port sender and that worked fine. The starboard engine sender (also new) was still a no-go. At one point there was a warning about Stbd sender wiring that came up on the V.V. display . . . The connector contacts were a...
